Installing from Binary Packages

Those instructions are mostly for installing the 0.8.x version of buildbot. For buildbot nine it is at the moment recomended to install via pip and virtualenv.

Debian Users

install the ​buildbot and/or ​buildbot-slave package. The current Debian stable release ("wheezy") has 0.8.6p1, but there is a newer version in the 'unstable' or 'testing' distribution, currently 0.8.9.

install the 'buildbot' ​package from the 'universe' section (version 0.7.2 in dapper, 0.7.6 in hardy, 0.7.9 in intrepid and jaunty, 0.7.11p3 in karmic and lucid). Thanks to Matthias Klose for making both of these Debian versions happen! For newer versions, look for backports or install from source.
